Appiicanon ined February a1, 1912. seria1 no. 679,157.

To all whom t may concern: y

Be it known that'I, WILLIAM A. BRYANT, a citizen of the United States,residing at ivetumpka, in the county of Elmore and State of Aiabama,have invented Acertain new and useful Improvements in Button and DrawersSupporters; and I do declare the following to be a1 full, clear, andenact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to pin'fasteners, and more especially to thevWire guards therefor; and the objectof the same is to produce a .safetypin. whose spring is by preference elaborated -into a loop forattachment. to the .Suspenders and whose pin pointis held within theguard by a hookshaped latch. This and other objects are accomplished bythe construction hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and asshown in the drawings wherein`v Figure 1 is a front elevation of this entire device showing the pointof the pin as housed within the guard andthe catch as engaging the back of the pin. Fig. 2 is a l d iscngagedfrom both the guard and the catch. Fig. 3 is ancdge view taken from theright side of the devicewith its parts in the position shown in Fig. 2.Fig. .4 is a section on the f lino 4-4 of Fig. l.

made in the form of illustrate, and from .'ln 'the drawingsthe numeral.1 designates thc springof this improved pin which is usually a -coilbutin the present-.place is a loop so that a suspender-enol may beattached thereto in a manner well understood and not necessary to thisloop the wiredepends in two `oblique arms. Of these, theV numeral 2designates the pin proper ,whichextends downward from said .loop andtheir turns inward or horizontall as shown at 3,A its point 4 beingsharpene `The numeral 5 Vdesignates'the shank which also extendsdownward from the loop vand divergesfroln the pmas shown,- being formedthen into a coil or spiral as at 6 toreceive .the point 4,

l. and then extended integrally'across the d enot essential.` y

It will not be necessary in this specifica.

'across behind the first ,poi nt engages 8 at its extremity adapted toengage the pin Vas shown in Figi 1. The device is entirely of one pieceof material, preferably rather stout wire which may be apanned orotherwise treated to prevent rust, and the size and proportionof itsvarious members 'are tion to amplify the many uses to which a safety pinof this character may be put. lI have, however, called it a handy buttonand drawers supporter, for the reason that the loop may well be engagedwith a suspenderend and the pin passed through the waist'- hand of thetrousers or the waist band ofa pair of drawers, the point of the pinthen entering the guard so that the wearer is thoroughly protected andthe hook at the extremity of the catch taking over the back of the pinso as to preventy the point from becoming disengaged from the guard and.

a n u c u which 1t is liirciectcd. To disconnect 'it'. the

`pin point is pushed into the guard until the back of the pin can bedisconnected from the hook, after which the pin point is drawn out ofthe guard and out `of the garment as will be clear.

What is claimed as new is:

The herein described pin fastener made of a single piece of spring wireand coml prising a loop, an arm depending obliqucly therefrom and thenturned inward. and

pointed at its extremity, and a second arm depending from the loop anddiverging from the first arm, then formed into a coil for receiving saidpoint, and thence carried army and hooked at to engage this arm when thethe coil, as and for the purits t-xtrcmity pose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presencey of twosubscribing witnesses.
